Judy Moody and the Not Bummer Summer Page #2

---

So...

...are you ready for my plan?

Introducing the one and only

Judy Moody Mega-Rare

Not Bummer Summer Dare!

I don't get it.

OK, you know how

we always hate summer

because it's boring

with a capital "B"?

I don't hate summer.

I love summer.

Anyway, this'll solve

all our problems.

I spent two days

and 16 erasers figuring it out.

"Ride Scream Monster, surf a wave."

- Are these the dares?

- JUDY:
Yup.

So we do these dares, and for each one,

we get ten Thrill Points.

Plus Bonus Points

if we do something crazy like,

ride the Scream Monster with no hands.

Or Loser Points if we chicken out.

At the end of summer, we add it all up,

and if we reach 100,

then presto, whammo,

we just had the best summer ever!

Is that thrilladelic or what?

Um, it's thrilladelic, only...

...I kind of forgot

to tell you something.

(MOUTHING SILENTLY)

Um... He forgot to tell you that...

...he's going away for the summer.

What?

Yeah. To circus camp.

I'm gonna learn how

to walk on a tightrope,

and do magic tricks and stuff.

And I won't be here, either.

I'm going to Borneo.

You guys!

I thought you were serious.

Borneo?

What even is Borneo?

It's an island in Indonesia.

And I am going with my mom.

- We leave in a week.

- Me too.

On Friday.

That is so not fair!

How am I supposed to have

the best summer ever,

if you're not even here?

I'm not going anywhere.

You can have fun with me.

Great.

Just great.

DAD:
It looks like somebody's

in a bad mood.

Really? Who?

She's mad because Rocky and Amy

are going away for the summer.

Could you please not talk

with ABC peas in your mouth?

DAD:
ABC what? What?

MOM:
Already Been Chewed.

- DAD:
Oh.

- (MOM GROANS)

MOM:
Guys.

Oh... OK, guys.

Mind your manners, please.

Anyway, I could care less

about Rocky and Amy.

I mean, going to circus camp,

that's lame.

Rocky's going to circus camp?

You know, that's a great idea.

You know, I think his grandparents

used to run that, the famous Circus

- Zangzini. Right.

- Zangzini.

# A- B-C-D-E-F-G #

Can we please not talk about Rocky?

Hey, wanna know what

I'm doing this summer?

- I'm gonna catch Bigfoot.

- Bigfoot?

Where did you even hear about Bigfoot?

Hello! He's all over the news.

- Oh.

- DAD:
In the newspapers, too.

Yeah, there have been Bigfoot

sightings everywhere.

Sally Rottenberger saw him in the mall.

(STAMMERS)

DAD:
At the mall?

I thought Bigfoot lived in the woods.

But sometimes he has to buy stuff.

There's no such thing.

Is too. Wanna help me catch him?

I'd rather catch poison ivy.

- Oh, thank you.

- Mom?

Mm-hmm?

Can I please,

with ice cream and sprinkles on top,

go to circus camp? Please?

Honey, I'm sorry. It's just too expensive,
